  1. Update: Got it fitted last night, had to stay in the bodyshop overnight for the resin to dry so picked the car up this morning. It's looking braw.

    I'll take some pics & post them up when i get home tonight. Going up to Hypertech later to get an oil & filter change, then the car is back into the bodyshop tomorrow to get the bird-crap damage repaired face-icon-small-blush.gif

    No more cash left after this week!!!!!

  2. Yea, i don't think they wanted the work, they specialise in insurance work so i think the £360 quote was a "F@@K OFF" price. Gumball has used this company recently i believe.

    The car is now going into a proper bodyshop that i've used several times in the past, and he's quoting me £150 cash. He might even manage to get the car back to me the same day, depending on how busy he is.

    Chris - thanks for the offer but i'll pass, cheers anyway.

  3. It didn't help that i tried to t-cut the bird-crap mark out, and managed to t-cut right through the clear topcoat laquer and start removing the red underneath face-icon-small-blush.gif

    I did consider purchasing a carbon-fibre replacement & getting it painted, but cash aint as plentiful as it was earlier in the year unfortunately.

    I shall need to be extra-vigilant from now on & make sure any bird-crap is washed off.

    I don't think i'll be purchasing too many mods from now on face-icon-small-sad.gif

  4. Been to two separate bodyshops today and they both say it needs painted (i suppose they would say that though).

    Quoted from one place - £200, with the car off the road for 2 days, other place was £360 with 4 days off the road.

    Both say the the colour-match should be fine, as the sun does bleach all paints but red in particular. But with my car only being 2 years old the sun wont have had much chance to do it's damage.

    Car goes in on Thursday for a full bonnet respray. face-icon-small-blush.gif

  5. Apolgies, not going to be able to make this tonight folks.
